Water is both colourless and odourless. two things are similar - Both carbon dioxide and hydrogen are gases - Carbon dioxide and hydrogen are both gases. Copper is not only malleable, but also ductile as well. Copper is not only malleable, but also ductile.

  10. Copper and aluminium are both good conductors. Therefore, either copper oraluminium can be used in electrical wires. - Solids have definite volume and shape. However, gases have neither definite volume nor definite shape.

  11. Either .. or are used where there are different possibilities or alternatives.Neither ... nor are used where there are no alternatives. Both of these constructions can be used to list several things.. - Insulators can be made of either glass or porcelain or mica, or different form of plastic. - Neither copper nor zinc nor tin are alloys of other metals.
